hahaha, I pretty much fully agree. I have been believing we are very close to an actual civil war and coming closer to the idea that maybe a shattering of the union would be a good thing. More tax competition, less or no powerful central gooberment, much more choice of place to live (if staying here), the end of the IRS, CIA, etc - at least much diminished in power. Kalifornia would be doomed without constant subsidy from DC.
